Mild Saturday; Cooler Sunday

After Friday’s record breaking afternoon, there will be a few more clouds around today, although temperatures will continue to run nearly 15-degrees above normal. Sunday turns a bit cooler with even more cloud cover. A few showers will be around Sunday night into Monday, but it won’t amount to much. Perhaps a better opportunity for rainfall comes by midweek.

Forecast Discussion

It was a crazy warm day on Friday, with records falling by the wayside. At the Asheville Regional Airport, the high of 76-degrees was the second warmest December day on record for the airport location.

Today will still be unseasonably mild, but not quite as warm as yesterday. Sunday features more clouds and temperatures suppressed even further.

A cold front will cross the region on Monday with a few showers, but really not much rainfall. After an “in-between” Tuesday, a wave on the front will spread more rainfall back into the western Carolinas on Wednesday.

A drier period is expected Thursday into Friday before the next storm system approaches for next weekend.
